DO NOT LET OTHERS ROB YOU OF YOUR ENERGY, YOUR TIME, OR YOUR SANITY BECAUSE YOU AWAIT THEIR SCHEDULE, THEIR SAY, THEIR JUDGEMENT, OR THEIR APPROVAL. TAKE THE HARDER ROAD OF PRESSING ON, DESPITE THE LACK OF SUPPORT. STOP WAITING, STOP BEING WISHY-WASHY, STOP STRADDLING THE FENCE. MAKE A DECISION, THEN MAKE A MOVE IN KEEPING WITH YOUR CHOICES. GET UNSTUCK, AND ACCEPT YOUR CONSEQUENCES. Charles Tadros, M.D. November 1, 2021 Saint Louis, Missouri
